Same as for investing, there is one common rule. When you diverse your portfolio, you cannot loose everything in one shot. Think about your life in a same way. If you are not a buddhist, but just an ordinary person made from your cultural environment, you will rely on things in your life. It can be material things, it could be small spiritual breaks, could be yoga, could be beer or cigarette. Could be anything, as we, people, are truly individuals.
These all things keep your mind anchored and more stress-immune. But when you rely on one big thing (family, partner, work, car, home etc.) and you loose this thing, your world could eventually break down.
If you diversed your relyings, you are stronger and loosing single one will not affect you so hard.
Also consider investing in yourself regularly. It’s not selfish, if you can invest in yourself, you can be better man for others and do greater things for mankind. And nobody can take this from you.
